Hi there,
Anyone out there got one of the new 15 bottle (2 1/2 gal) fermenters, mine is a Muntons branded one, it was a bit pricey at £32 but it's a joy to use and the 15bottle size is just right, I've got a apple/grape/pineapple juice WOW type going in it now (recipe below).
They are selling these now in Wilkinsons with a starter kit for £70, bit steep that eh ?.
There is one thing about it though, it is fitted with a tap on the bottom and although it has a bit of a filter on it I think it will drag the sediment out first if you were to use it for racking, anyone out there had this happen ?
Recipe for 2 1/2 gallon (12 Litres)
2L Morrisons pressed white grape juice
2L Lidl budget apple juice (from concentrate)
1L Lidl "Vitafit" pineapple juice (from concentrate)
2038g sugar
2 tsp pectolase, yeast etc
This should make a dry wine with a strength of around 12 1/2 % (SG using above juices 1095)
All the Best
